SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - June 25, 2007) - Discera, Inc., a World Leader in CMOS MEMS
resonator technology and provider of next-generation timing solutions,
today announced Chief Technology Officer Wan-Thai Hsu will address key
issues surrounding the MEMS industry and timing market at SEMICON West,
July 18 from 3:40 - 4:00p.m. at the Emerging Technologies and Markets
TechXPOT located at the Moscone Center, West Hall, Level 2.
Dr. Wan-Thai Hsu, CTO of Discera and EE Times Innovator of the Year, will
discuss "The New Heart Beat for Electronics -- MEMS Oscillators." Hsu will
talk about the challenges and benefits of MEMS resonators versus quartz for
electronics devices. In the talk he will address the issues of performance,
size and cost.
SEMICON West is the industry's premier showcase for exciting new
technologies. The TechXPOTs, launched in 2006, are where the most
cutting-edge trends can be found. TechXPOTs are focused
"shows-within-the-show" that feature exhibits, special displays, and live
technical presentations on the latest topics and trends in micro- and
nanoelectronics manufacturing, markets, and technologies. The Emerging
Technologies and Markets TechXPOT will explore the future of electronics
manufacturing, reaching into the world of nanotechnology, microsystems
(MEMS), and renewable energy (solar and fuel cells).

About Discera
Discera is a fabless analog semiconductor company that offers tiny, high
performance silicon resonators for the frequency and timing control
markets. These resonators act as the heartbeat or pulse for a variety of
devices from consumer products such as cameras and MP3 players to
specialized equipment for the military. The company's PureSilicon™
resonator technology is a fundamental building block that offers, according
to Semico Research, "a better mousetrap" for creating fully integrated, low
cost, small form factor wireline and wireless products, such as
oscillators, filters, and RF components. Unlike crystal based oscillators,
Discera's PureSilicon™ based CMOS oscillators can be integrated into
other CMOS-based circuits. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Jose,
California, Discera is a privately held company with investments from
Ardesta, Partech, 3i, Qualcomm Ventures, Horizon Ventures, and Scale
Ventures. More information is available at www.discera.com.
